Hypertensjon (blodtrykk > 140/90 mm Hg) er en hovedårsak til venstre ventrikkel-hypertrofi, hjertesvikt og koronarsykdom
Venstre ventrikkel-hypertrofi forekommer hos 20 – 50 % av pasienter med mild til moderat hypertensjon
Bruk av EKG fanger bare opp 1 – 4 av ti hypertonikere som har venstre ventrikkel-hypertrofi
Bruk av ekkokardiografi kan avsløre subklinisk hjertesykdom og dermed gi en riktigere risikoklassifisering av hypertonikere
Hypertonikere med systolisk hjertesvikt har som regel i tillegg koronarsykdom, diabetes eller nyresykdom
